Ruaile Buaile set for return concert in Mullingar

The sensational Ruaile Buaile are set to make a return to Mullingar for their first official concert since their sold-out gigs at the All-Ireland Fleadh Cheoil in the town two years’ ago.

The talented five-piece band will play The Chambers Bar, Mullingar on Sunday, August 10, at 8pm, in what will be an eagerly-awaited show.

Ballinagore’s Niall Kelly is the Westmeath link with the band and he’s looking forward to making a return to Mullingar for the upcoming show. He has special memories of the Fleadh week and the 1,500 people who attended their nightly shows at the Fleadh Village in Mullingar.

“It's great to be coming back to Mullingar again and I’m already looking forward to meeting local supporters, friends and family at the concert. The Chambers is a very popular music venue and we’re excited about putting on a show there,” he said.

“The Fleadh was just unreal; it was class. I’m the only member of the band from Westmeath so it was always going to be special for me to have the event in my home county. But to witness crowds like we had over the course of the week and the great buzz it brought was just great,” he recalled.

Ruaile Buaile, who also led a hugely successful charity event in Mullingar last year, are a five piece twisted-trad band, based in the midlands of Ireland.

The group formed in 2011. In 2021, world renowned musician Cathal Guinan (fiddle) joined the band, followed by Seán Bourke (banjo) in 2023. Along with original members Niall Kelly (vocals and guitar), Jack Godley (percussion) and Shane Lynam (vocals and bass), the quintet are entertaining audiences with a bigger than ever sound.

From upbeat old Irish favourites, ground thumping trad, and unique twists on recent day classics, this collective are bringing their energy to masses around Ireland and further afield.
